The Porsche 911 (991) Carrera S represents a significant evolution in the long-standing tradition of the Porsche 911. This generation, built from 2011 to 2018, is characterized by numerous technical improvements and design optimizations. The 991 is based on a completely new platform that features a larger and stiffer structure than its predecessors like the 997. These innovations allowed for more interior space and improved handling without losing the iconic character of the 911. The 911 (991) Carrera S is equipped with a 3.8-liter six-cylinder boxer engine that produces 400 horsepower at 7,400 rpm. This model is also known for its exceptional balance between performance and driving comfort, making it one of the most sought-after models in the history of the Porsche 911.
The Porsche 911 (991) Carrera S features a variety of technical innovations that make it a technical masterpiece. A highlight is the new Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC), available as an option, which minimizes body roll in corners, improving stability and handling even at high speeds. Another key innovation is the Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), which adjusts damper stiffness in real-time to current driving conditions. The car accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in about 4.1 seconds and has a top speed of around 188 mph. Responsible for the design of the 991 was the former Porsche designer Michael Mauer, who significantly contributed to the modern interpretation of the classic 911 lines. In addition to the technical aspects, the 911 Carrera S also offers a luxurious and well-equipped interior. The use of high-quality materials and advanced infotainment systems ensures an unparalleled driving experience.
